Rating metrics: Help Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)

This album has a Bayesian average rating of 71.6/100, a mean average of 70.5/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 71.5/100. The standard deviation for this album is 16.9.

This album embraces all possible genres, but not what Cream represented, I found this album uninteresting, sorry. Albeit being a master of his instrument the songs are not that good.

Jack Bruce has never got the recognition he deserves in rock history! The bassplayer from Cream had classical background,a stylist on bass, but a multiinstrumentalist as well. His albumdebut on his own beat all the Cream music by miles, setting a new standard touching jazz, blues, ballads and rock within his horizon. I love all the tracks, but the standout is his masterpiece "Theme from an imaginary Western". Melodic, wellstructured and with a fluidity of many instruments working in a synergistic soundscape. RIP Mr. Bruce! You were a genious!
